NHTSA Recall 13V433000
Filed by Hart Trailer LLC. Component: Latches/Locks/Linkages. Reported 2013-09-16. An estimated 493 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Hart Trailer LLC is recalling certain model year 2006-2013 Medallion, Ultimate, and Cargo gooseneck and bumper hitch horse trailers manufactured January 1, 2006, through April 25, 2013 and equipped with Fastec-brand door locks. It may be possible to remove the key from the lock in a way that potentially jams the deadbolt.
Risk
If the deadbolt jams, the interior side of the door lock may also jam. A person inside the travel trailer at the time will then be locked in and be unable to exit the vehicle without using the emergency exit, increasing the risk of injury.
What the manufacturer will do
Hart Trailers will notify owners, and Fastec will coordinate the inspection and replacement of the cylinders, as needed, free of charge. The recall began on November 12, 2013. Owners may contact Hart Trailers at 1-405-224-3634 or Fastec at 1-800-837-2505.
